What is Craniosacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach to evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system; the soft tissues and fluid that protect the brain and spinal cord which is a key factor in supporting the central nervous system also referred to as the “command center” for the entire body. The CNS influences every major system and how it functions. A CST practitioner can evaluate the areas of restrictions and release deep tensions within the craniosacral system and within the body to help relieve dysfunction, pain, and improve whole body health and function.

Dysfunction within the central nervous system can cause a number of sensory , motor and neurological problems. Other spectrum of dysfunction and illness symptoms may include: migraines/headaches, chronic neck/back pain, stress and tension related disorders, chronic fatigue, Fibromialgia, TMJ Syndrome, ADD/ADHD, Anxiety disorders, diaphragm restrictions, visceral dysfunctions,  just to name a few. 

CST is increasingly used as a preventive healthcare measure to align structure and function for its ability to help balance the resistance to disease. By facilitating the bodies natural and innate healing processes, CranioSacral Therapy can be so profound yet so gentle and non-invasive that all ages can benefit.
